Dust off your dancing shoes because we sit down with Fiona Davis to discuss her new book The Spectacular! We talk about what inspired her to write about the Rockettes and Fiona's journey from actor to journalist to writer. Plus, she tells a beautiful story about what the BOTM blue box means to her, which had everyone teary-eyed. In 1956 New York City, 19-year-old Marion is selected to be one of the Rockettes, Radio City Music Hall's glamorous dancing troupes–until a bomb explodes in the theater. It's only the latest in a string of explosions orchestrated by the "Big Apple Bomber." With the public in an uproar over the lack of leads, the police turn to psychological profiling. As Marion finds herself pulled deeper into the investigation, she may be forced to sacrifice everything she's worked for. Get The Spectacular at bookofthemonth.com.
